The World’s Creation
At
the beginning God created the sky
And
the earth, which was shapeless and desert
And
darkness cover’d the abysses close by;
But
on the waters, with divine, expert
Zeal,
God established that obscurity
Had
to be opened to the bright alert!
God,
seeing that it was good, called Day the light.
And
the darkness instead was named Night.
Then
beneath the waters, the firmament
set
God, and between them, b’low, the dry land
He
also set, whither at same moment,
To
any bud and tree He gave command
From
seed to be produc’d for nourishment
Of
any species, in ground, soil or sand!
After
He had named sky, earth and sea
To
following duty God had to begin.
Hereafter
the lights in the sky He set
Doing
the moon and the sun for night and day,
And
other signs and stars in dose correct,
for
making years and seasons going away,
For
the Most High is much more than perfect
And
furthermore of this I cannot say!
About
this seventh stanza therefore
I
will not tell you nothing anymore!
“Fly
off all birds”- said God- “freely in the air
And
splash in to the sea any kind of fish;
Graze
lambs, calves and livestock everywhere
In
grassy lawns that will never languish;
Grow
up any reptiles fair and unfair,
living
beings either monstrous or polish!”
After
the earth had all animals found
God
said to them to multiply around.
And
finally God said: - “ Let’s make the man
In
our image and likeness, every
And
each animal to lead on command!”
After
doing that He rested quietly.
Henceforward,
after six days, on the land
men,
on the seventh, stay steady Godly,
being
it consecrated for prairie and rest,
Both
the last hours and also the first!
But
the Creation was not yet complete
Still
being missed the breath of the Animator
Who
into a giant can transform a bit!
Waters
from earth going up by Creator
To
mist all over the ground were admit
So
could mould the man God the Great Factor
and
by that divine blow the man was made
though
lonely however, he sadly stayed.
Insofar
a day, as he was sleeping,
took
God one rib of his from his right side
And
closing up its place with flesh, according
Not
to keep him alone, such a grac’ful glide
became
a woman, companion cleaving:
On
body and soul with man equal inside
and
‘t was a joy! But from that happiness
Adam
had soon be wak’n on bitterness!
In
truth, as I have already said,
it
was the snake the cheating actor,
who
convinced Eve to be so mad
to
eat the fruit that God The Factor
had
forbidden; and she convinced her lad
they
would become like a professor
of
science and art of evil and good !
That
fruit so has to ‘came the damned food!
Realized
since then Adam and Eve to stay
Shamefully
nude, and wearing like a shield
leaves
of fig tree they keep on since that day
protecting
their nudity in the bloom field!
“Where are you ? Why are you walking away
From me?” asked to Adam
God, who’ll wield
Forever
human‘s fate. So Eve confirmed
that
because of the snake eaten they had!
In
fact the Holy Lord said to the snake:
“Because
of what you‘ve done, cursed are you
Above
wild animals, and I will make
You
eating the dust for all your life through
Upon
your belly, unable to shake
Your
arts! Your head’ll crash you the woman to
whom
hostile I will make you and her heel
One
day you’ll try to injure for such appeal!
He
said to the woman: “I'll multiply
your
pains during your childbearingness
and
forwards your husband I'll modify
your
instinct, but dominion less
you’ll
be over him!” To man God said badly:
you
won’t draw any food from soil unless
in
the sweat of your face. That will be a
must
‘cause
you are dust and you’ll return to dust!
And since then the path is not allowed
On direction forward the tree of the life,
And God at the end of the garden placed
The flaming Cherub with the big knife
Worried that man would have the fruit tasted
Of life’s tree to become eternal stuff!
That’s why God sent Adam and Eve away
from the Eden as the holy Books say.
